I'm beginning to wonder if we really do have a good signing up our sleeve, I have a feeling we will make one more signing this January, sadly, I think it will be a winger on loan, that will be it, we will then be told "how difficult" it is to sign players, and even if we make CL next year, it will always be the same, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get to ten titles in a row, as we never strengthen properly, and they'll prob let sevco in the back door over next few years. really disappointing stuff from the hierarchy.

There's still time for signings mate, i don't believe for a second there's not things happening behind the scenes regarding signings. Rodgers knows we need more quality, I'm sure he also knows who we need to ship out. To be honest, any big signings especially ones that cost a few Bob I'd expect to happen in the summer, don't be surprised if any more addition's this window are loan signings.

Not sure what we are doing. Ever player linked is a loan and in a lot of cases not great ones either. Mean while their huns are buying home grown players. They have seem to strengthen all these positions they see as a problem. Yet we have signed a CB and a winger who has gone back on loan. I know people will say there is still time but l won't be surprised is that all we do. Th recruitment has been shocking and unless we get quality in and not all loans then we will have allow them huns to get closer to us.

I am fed up with some people who seem to believe that it's easy for Celtic to buy quality players . Most players who are judged to have a little bit of ability are likely to want to play on the continent where there is a better climate or else sign for one of the forty odd clubs in England that can afford bigger wages than we can .
In the early 200's Celtic could match most teams in England with wages but the TV money available in England has changed all that .
In addition the SFA see their only role is to promote Rangers 1872 and 2012 and when we examine how the Rangers club are doing is it any wonder we can't attract talent.

It's highly unlikely we will spend millions - especially in a January window, when the market is so confined and limited.
The squad we have was capable of an undefeated domestic treble and although we do need more quality for Europe, we have done very well up til now, considering the injuries and form-losses to date.
Hopefully the break will have refreshed and renewed our ability to dominate domestically and with the recovery of Roberts and Rogic and the return to form of Sinclair, Armstrong, Dembele etc etc plus a possible new face or two, we should be just fine until summer.

I wouldn't worry too much about the players Sevco are bringing in. They're nearly all players who cost nothing and can't get a game with the clubs they are at.
If any other team in Scotland were bringing in these players nobody on here would raise an eyebrow, because it's Sevco though some people are getting in a panic.
If you look at the squad they already have and add these players that they are bringing in now, I still don't see one player out of all of them who I wish was in our team.
If they ever start buying players who are better than we have I would start to be concerned, but the state they're in financially, I don't think that'll be anytime soon.

As much as I dislike sevco, I have to be fair, they ALWAYS try to strengthen and we ALWAYS seem content to be just ahead rather than bury them, I also don’t believe we can’t get anybody, if they outspend is again in this window, it will be an embarrasment, especially as this time, they are getting better standard of players in than they had before.

Personally couldn’t give a rubbish about ragers, what happens if big jozo, and Sviatchenko go at the last minute.
I just don’t want us gubbed every time in Europe, doesn’t do the morale any good at all.

Hi Kev. I simple meant that we should be bringing in players where they team needs it. We all know we need another CB, goal keeper and LB to be able to give KT a rest. A lot of the players have run themselves into their ground the first half and the others have been off form a bit. And it's clear what's behind them is not good enough in BR eyes. To answer your question l should have said buy and loans so apologies kev. They have got declan John, Jason Cummins, Jamie Murphy and Russell Martin as good a done. I would just like us to get in one or two more in their areas needed and not linked to some if they rubbish we have been.

15 Jan 2018 22:35:51
Oscar you moaned that we are being linked with loans then praising the mob for bringing in players on loan.
Martin is a dud and I wouldn't pick him for a school team
Murphy is a not to bad player but that's it.
Cummings is a clown and spfl level and has just proved that.
All they players are for it catching Aberdeen not us.
Come end of the season I'd bet all 3 are back at their parent clubs.
I think we will strengthen. I think another CB will be brought in at the very least.
As for LB I don't think we are in a serious rush as Compper can play there as well.

Man U under Fergie never recruited many players each windows. He developed the players bringing in one or two granted they were quality. However he improved players year on year. Our current crop will kick on again up another level after the break. Don't worry about second getting players if Motherwell or Hearts or Hibs signed these players still wouldn't win the league and neither will they. Don't believe the hype. .

16 Jan 2018 12:49:25
Kev the problem is we have money to spend and they don't. We should be buying or at least trying to get in quality players to help and compete for places. We all know they have no money and that's why they have to get player's on loan. We have no excuse.

16 Jan 2018 13:32:56
Spot on kwaj a think one or two on here are still reading red top papers. Don't believe what these clowns are printing, it's what they want, to have us believe they're not far behind us. Reality is they won't catch us no matter how many second or third rate players they borrow.

To Cjb77 a couple of days ago you posted that it would be embarrassing if they (sevco) out spent us again in the transfer window. What money have they spent, the players they have recruited are loan deals players who couldn’t get a game at their own club plus two players recalled who were deemed not good enough first time round. What is embarrassing is your post, I shudder to think what sort of posts we would read on this site if we were 11 points adrift in the league and out of Europe. Oldkilly.
